                          Notes to Financial Statements
                             (Dollars in Thousands)
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   Operations:

Luigino's, Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company"), a Minnesota corporation, markets
food products primarily under the Michelina's and Budget Gourmet name brands.
The Michelina's label is manufactured at production facilities located in
Minnesota and Ohio. The Budget Gourmet label is sourced through a co-pack
agreement with Heinz Frozen Food Company (HFF). The Company's products,
distributed predominately in the North American market, are sold through
independent and chain store retail grocery outlets.

2.   Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments consisting solely of normal recurring items
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Operating results for 16 weeks ended April 21, 2002 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
December 29, 2002. Certain amounts in the financial statements for the prior
quarter have been reclassified to conform with the current period's
presentation. Those reclassifications had no effect on stockholders' equity or
net loss.

For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
30, 2001, filed on March 19, 2002 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

Effective with the first quarter of 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issues 00-14,"Accounting for Certain Sales
Incentives" and 00-25,"Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration
from a Vendor to a Retailer." These EITF Issues provide that certain sales
incentives and consideration paid by the Company to a retailer, such as new item
placement fees, coupon redemption costs, feature price discounts, in-store
display incentive and cooperative advertising, are reductions of net sales.
Prior to adoption, the Company recognized these expenditures as selling
expenses. To conform to current year presentation, prior year amounts have been
appropriately reclassified. The result of these adoptions was a reclassification
between selling expenses and net sales with no impact on net loss. The amounts
of reclassification of these promotional expenses for the 16 weeks ended April
21, 2002 and April 22, 2001 are $21,321 and $23,414, respectively.

On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved for
issuance Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, "Business
Combinations," and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets." These statements
change the accounting for business combinations, goodwill and intangible assts.
SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business
combinations and further clarifies the criteria for recognizing intangible
assets separate from goodwill. SFAS 142 provides that goodwill and other
indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed
annually, or more frequently if necessary, for impairment. Separable intangible
assets that are deemed to have a definite life will continue to be amortized
over their useful lives.

                                       6

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 and has discontinued
the amortization of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets
effective December 31, 2001.

The Company has completed the preliminary transitional impairment testing. The
Company has only one segment for goodwill and financial reporting purpose. The
transitional analyses resulted in no impairment charges.

In August 2001, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No.
144 ("FAS 144") "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets." This statement supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of" and amends other guidance related to the accounting
and reporting of long-lived assets. The Company adopted FAS 144 effective first
quarter 2002. The adoption of FAS 144 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

4.   Fiscal Year:

The Company has elected a 52/53 week fiscal year which ends on the Sunday
closest to December 31. The Company's fiscal year includes a 16-week first
fiscal quarter, 12-week second and third fiscal quarters and a 12 or 13 week
fourth fiscal quarter.

6.   Acquisition of The All American Gourmet Company:

On February 9, 2001, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of The All-American Gourmet Company, a Delaware Corporation (AAG) pursuant to a
Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and HFF, a Delaware Corporation
and the parent of AAG. At the date of closing, the only assets owned by AAG were
intangible assets consisting of trademarks, logos, patent licenses, product
formulas, quality specifications, customer lists, and marketing materials. The
aggregate consideration for the acquisition of AAG was $66.6 million in cash.
The Company also agreed to purchase certain finished goods inventory from the
former parent HFF, over a six-month period following closing. The Company
entered into a two-year co-pack agreement with HFF, whereby the Company has
agreed to purchase a minimum of 8 million and 6 million cases in fiscal years
2001 and 2002, respectively.

The Company's acquisition was accounted for by using the purchase method. The
purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities
based on a determination of the fair values of the assets purchased and
liabilities assumed. The purchase price and related acquisition costs exceeded
the fair values assigned to tangible assets by approximately $66,627. Except for
the amortization on the $10,000 of restrictive covenant, effective first quarter
of 2002, the Company has discontinued the amortization of goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed results of operations for the
periods ended April 21, 2002 and April 22, 2001 have been prepared as if the
transaction occurred on January 1, 2001.

                                            First Fiscal Quarter Ended
               Pro Forma                 April 21, 2002    April 22, 2001

Net Sales ..........................        $ 80,883          $ 89,029
Income from Operations .............           2,543             5,777
Net Loss ...........................          (2,494)             (417)

The financial information does not purport to represent results which would have
been obtained if the acquisition had been in effect on January 1, 2001 or any
future results which may in fact be realized.

The Company is organized as a Subchapter S corporation. Accordingly, all tax
liabilities are the responsibility of individual shareholders. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities become the responsibility of the Company if and when the
Subchapter S corporation structure is converted to a C-Corporation. The
Company's subsidiary, AAG, is a C-Corporation. As such, AAG will be responsible
for federal, state and foreign taxes. As a part of the acquisition of AAG, the
Company recorded a $9,600 deferred tax liability and corresponding increase to
goodwill due to financial reporting and tax reporting basis differences.

7.   Debt:

The Company funded the purchase price of the AAG acquisition through a $100,000
credit facility which replaced its existing revolving credit facility. The
credit facility includes (a) a $60,000 term loan with maturity for each of the
five years subsequent to December 31, 2000 of $7,500, $10,000, $13,250, $13,250
and $16,000, and (b) a $40,000 revolving credit facility expiring on December
31, 2005, subject to certain borrowing base limitations. The initial net
proceeds of the credit facility were used to finance the acquisition of AAG,
refinance the existing bank indebtedness of the Company, and pay related fees
and expenses.

The Company entered into two fixed rate swaps in February 2002 totaling $30,000.
A $20,000 swap at an interest rate of 3.49%, plus the current margin spread of
2.50% maturing on December 31, 2003 and a $10,000 swap at an interest rate of
3.07%, plus the current margin spread of 2.50% with $2,500 maturing on December
31, 2002, March 31, 2003, June 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003 respectively.

The swap agreements were entered into to fix the rate of interest on the
floating rate senior credit facility. The swaps were accounted for as cash flow
hedges and their fair values are not material to the financial statements.

Based on a total leverage ratio calculated on a quarterly basis, borrowings
under the term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest either at 2.25%
to 3.25% over the rate offered to major banks in the London Interbank Eurodollar
market ("Eurodollar Rate"), or at 1% to 2% over Alternative Base Rate, which is
the larger of the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2%. Advances
through April 21, 2002 bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.50% and Prime
Rate plus 1.25% with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.95% at April 21,
2002. The Company also pays a fee of 0.375% to 0.50% on the unused daily balance
of the revolver based on a leverage ratio calculated on a quarterly basis.

The credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, which among other
matters, requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio,
a maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum senior leverage ratio and a minimum
EBITDA, all as defined in the credit agreement. The credit agreement also limits
additional indebtedness, capital expenditures and cash dividends. At April 21,
2002, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the credit agreement.

Total Company net sales for the first fiscal quarter ended April 21, 2002
increased $0.9 million or 1.1% to $80.9 million from $80.0 million for the
comparable quarter in 2001. Unit volume increased 1.7%, while trade promotional
spending increased $1.1 million over the comparable period last year. Slotting
expense, which is included in trade promotional spending, totaled $8.6 million
for the first quarter of 2002 as compared to $5.9 million for the first quarter
of 2001.

Net sales in the Popular product line decreased $1.3 million or 2.7% due to
distribution loss resulting from the trade shift to a one brand strategy.
Economy net sales increased $4.0 million or 20.7% due primarily to acquisition
of AAG. Both Signature and Snack product lines reported a decline in net sales
of $1.1 million, due to decreased distribution. The Bowl product line was
introduced in the first quarter of 2002, resulting in net sales of $0.4 million,
which are net of $8.7 million of trade promotional spending, primarily slotting
expense, to support this launch.

Canadian net sales contributed 18.1% or $14.6 million of net sales for the first
quarter of 2002 compared to 16.3% or $13.1 million for the first quarter 2001.
This increase is primarily due to the launch of the new Bowl product line.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first fiscal quarter of 2002 increased $1.6
million or 8.2% to $21.1 million from $19.5 million in the comparable quarter
last year. The gross margin increased to 26.1% of net sales from 24.3%. The
margin improvement is primarily the result of the 2001 price increase, which
went into effect on January 1, 2001.

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses for the first
quarter of 2002 increased $2.8 million due primarily to increased advertising.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the
first fiscal quarter of 2002 were $10.0 million as compared to $9.9 million for
the comparable period last year. General spending was up $0.4 million or 5.0%,
offset by a $0.3 million decline in amortization expense due to the suspension
of goodwill amortization.

Operating Income. Operating income for the first fiscal quarter ended April 21,
2002 was $2.5 million as compared to $3.8 million for the comparable period last
year. This reduction in operating income is primarily the result of increase in
slotting and advertising expense, offset somewhat by the gross profit
improvement.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the first fiscal quarter ended April 21,
2002 decreased $0.2 million to $5.3 million as compared to $5.5 million for the
first quarter of 2001. The reduction is the result of the combination of lower
interest rates and lower debt level.

Interest Income. Interest income was $0.1 million for the first fiscal quarter
for both 2002 and 2001.

Other, Net. Other income was $0.2 million for the first fiscal quarter 2002 as
compared to other expenses of $0.1 million in the first quarter 2001.

Net Loss. For the reasons stated above, the net loss for the first quarter ended
April 21, 2002 was $2.5 million as compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for
the first quarter 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At April 21, 2002, the Company had $18.9 million outstanding on a $40.0 million
line of senior revolving credit with Bank One, NA. The cash and cash equivalent
balance as of April 21, 2002 was $1.3 million as compared to $1.4 million as of
April 22, 2001. As of April 21, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all
covenants of its senior credit agreement with Bank One.

Operating activities provided $3.3 million of cash in the first 16 weeks of 2002
as compared to $1.6 million for the first 16 weeks of 2001. This $1.7 million
improvement in cash provided by operating activities is the result of $3.2
million decrease in working capital requirements, offset by $0.8 million
decrease in net income, a $0.2 million decrease in depreciation and
amortization, and a $0.5 million reduction in deferred income taxes.

Investing activities used $4.4 million of cash for the first 16 weeks of 2002,
as compared to $68.7 million for the comparable period in 2001. The Company used
$66.6 million in the first quarter of 2001 to acquire the All American Gourmet
Company.

Financing activities used $0.9 million of cash in the first 16 weeks ended April
21, 2002, compared to $70.0 million provided in the first 16 weeks of 2001. The
Company paid $7.7 million in distribution to shareholders in the first 16 weeks
of 2002 to cover their tax liability related to 2001 operating results. On
February 9, 2001, the Company obtained $66.6 million of cash primarily for the
acquisition of AAG through borrowings under the credit facility. The Company
funded the purchase price of the AAG acquisition through a $100.0 million credit
facility which replaced its existing revolving credit facility. The credit
facility includes (a) a $60.0 million term loan with maturity for each of the
five years subsequent to December 31, 2000 of $7.5 million, $10.0 million,
$13.25 million, $13.25 million and $16.0 million, and (b)

                                       11

<PAGE>

a $40.0 million revolving credit facility expiring on December 31, 2005, subject
to certain borrowing base limitations.

As a part of the Company's strategic growth plan, the Company incurred
approximately $8.6 million for slotting expenses for the first 16 weeks of 2002.
The Company plans to spend an additional $1.5 million in slotting expenses in
2002 to introduce new products and increase product penetration. The Company
also plans on spending approximately $8.0 million on plant and equipment
purchases in 2002, primarily to increase the production capacity at its Jackson,
Ohio plant.

The Company anticipates continuing to elect Subchapter S treatment under the
U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Consequently, the Company will continue to make
quarterly distributions to the shareholders based upon their estimated tax
liabilities. The Company's subsidiary, AAG, is a C-Corporation. As such, AAG
will be responsible for all tax liabilities including deferred taxes.

Luigino's ability to make scheduled payments of principal of, or to pay the
interest or premiums, if any, on, or to refinance its indebtedness or to fund
planned capital expenditures will depend on future performance, which, to a
certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive,
legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond the Company's control.
Of the $169.0 million of total indebtedness on April 21, 2002, $100.0 million
consisted of 10% senior subordinated notes issued pursuant to an Indenture dated
February 4, 1999 between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust National Association as
trustee. Interest on the senior subordinated notes is payable semi-annually in
arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The senior subordinated notes
are due February 1, 2006, but may be redeemed by the Company for a premium after
March 1, 2003. Based upon the current level of operations, the Company believes
that cash flow from operations and available cash, together with available
borrowings under the credit agreement, will be adequate to meet the future
liquidity needs, including payment requirements on the senior subordinated
notes, for at least the next several years. The Company may, however, need to
refinance all or a portion of the principal of the senior subordinated notes on
or before maturity. There can be no assurance that the business will generate
sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be
available under the credit agreement in an amount sufficient to enable the
Company to service indebtedness or to fund other liquidity needs. In addition,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to effect any such
refinancing on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

The Company believes that the relatively moderate rate of inflation over the
past few years has not had a significant impact on sales or profitability.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Effective with the first quarter of 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issues 00-14,"Accounting for Certain Sales
Incentives" and 00-25,"Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration
from a Vendor to a Retailer." These EITF Issues provide that certain sales
incentives and consideration paid by the Company to a retailer, such as new item
placement fees, coupon redemption costs, feature price discounts, in-store
display incentive and cooperative advertising, are reductions of net sales.
Prior to adoption, the Company recognized these expenditures as selling
expenses. To conform to current year presentation, prior year amount have been
appropriately reclassified. The result of these adoptions was a reclassification
between selling expenses and net sales with no impact on net loss. The amounts
of reclassification of these promotional expenses for the 16 weeks ended April
21, 2002 and April 22, 2001 are $21,321 and $23,414, respectively.

On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved for
issuance Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, "Business
Combinations," and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets." These statements
change the accounting for business combinations, goodwill and intangible assts.
SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business
combinations and further clarifies the criteria for recognizing intangible
assets separate from goodwill. SFAS 142 provides that goodwill and other
indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed
annually, or more frequently if necessary, for impairment. Separable intangible
assets that are deemed to have a definite life will continue to be amortized
over their useful lives.

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 and has discontinued
the amortization of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets
effective December 31, 2001.

The Company has completed the preliminary transitional impairment testing. The
Company has only one segment for goodwill and financial reporting purpose. The
transitional analyses resulted in no impairment charges.


In August 2001, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No.
144 ("FAS 144") "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets." This statement supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of" and amends other guidance related to the accounting
and reporting of long-lived assets. The Company adopted FAS 144 effective first
quarter 2002. The adoption of FAS 144 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Considerations

Credit Risk. Financial instruments which potentially subject Luigino's to
significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade
accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and other
financial instruments with various financial institutions. The Company's policy
is to limit exposure to any one institution. When the Company formulates its
investment strategy, it considers periodic evaluations of the relative credit
standing of these financial institutions. The Company's concentrations of credit
risk for trade accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of
entities comprising the customer base. The Company has an exclusive distribution
agreement with J.M. Schneider Corporation in Canada, which accounted for 18.1%
of net sales for the 16 weeks ended April 21, 2002. The Company does not
currently foresee a credit risk with this distributor.

Interest Rate Risk. The Company uses financial instruments, including fixed and
variable rate debt, as well as interest rate swaps, to finance operations and to
hedge interest rate expenses. The swap contracts are entered into for periods
consistent with relative underlying exposures, and do not constitute position
independent of those exposures. The Company does not enter into contract for
speculative purposes. There has been no material change in the Company's market
risks associated with debt and interest rate swap obligations during its first
fiscal quarter ending April 21, 2002.

The Company entered into two fixed rate swaps in February 2002 totaling $30,000.
A $20,000 swap at an interest rate of 3.49%, plus the current margin spread of
2.50% maturing on December 31, 2003 and a $10,000 swap at an interest rate of
3.07%, plus the current margin spread of 2.50% with $2,500 maturing on December
31, 2002, March 31, 2003, June 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003 respectively.

The swap agreements were entered into to fix the rate of interest on the
floating rate senior credit facility. The swaps were accounted for as cash flow
hedges and their fair values are not material to the financial statements.

Other Market Risks. The Company has no history of, and does not anticipate in
the future, investing in derivative commodity instruments or other such
financial instruments. Transactions with international customers are entered
into in U.S. dollars, precluding the need for foreign currency hedges. As a
result, the exposure to market risk is not material.
